Very impressive Greg, but on my calibrated monitor, I also feel that it is too bright. Would something like "Shadow-Highlights" be able to bring it back a bit - that is currently my favourite photoshop tool, I've been using it quite a bit processing my holiday pics, unfortunately not astronomical shots (apart from the moon visible in the sunrise & sunset shots).
I have my name down on the waiting list for the AP140... Let's see what the world holds in 10+yrs time. My hunch is that it will be too heavy for my mount and imaging gear (limit 20kg), so I might have to settle for the 130 (on the list for that too!), or upgrade the mount...
I got a Christmas card from AP in the post today. I presume you get one in the year after you buy something from them. Wonder if you they send you one while you're on the waiting list???
